    Mexican wine and wine making began with the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, when they brought vines from Europe to modern day Mexico, the oldest wine-growing region in the Americas. Although there were indigenous grapes before the Spanish conquest, the Spaniards found that Spanish grapevines also did very well in the colony of New Spain and by the 17th century wine exports from Spain to the New World fell.

These valleys all have Mediterranean-type microclimates instead of desert thanks to sea breezes and fog which comes inland from the Pacific Ocean. Though a bit warmer and drier, the region produces many of the same grapes as in California, producing varietals that originated in southern France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece.
